Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a class that extends mx.core.Application.
2. Set the constructor to call super().
3. In your Flex App, use your new class rather than <mx:Application>
4. Set the size of your application to height="800" width="800" (for example)
5. Run the application (don't run it in the HTML wrapper – just run the swf)

I have attached my test files for you.

Actual Results:
The application starts and is the wrong size (it's very small). This can be problematic when you set

systemManager.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL;

Expected Results:
If you run this same application using <mx:Application> it sizes itself to 800 x 800. Using systemManager.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.SHOW_ALL; works properly.

Workaround (if any):
None
